The Hobbit

[popeyespappy]

Given Christopher Tolkeins' emotional attachment to Silmarillion you could well be right but what do you think about the Unfinished tales, Númenor, the Lays of Beleriand? all of these stories have cinematic qualities.

They do, but they don't want anything to do with Hollywood in general anymore, it would seem.

Can you blame them? LOTR grossed almost $3 billion worldwide at the box office. The Tolkien estate was supposed to get 7.5% of net profit, but the studio claimed a net loss on the films.
